On June 12, 2005, having sold house and possessions, Scott, Sue and Gracie the cat left Chicago aboard our 30 foot sailboat, Enee Marie, bound for 'the islands'. Yes you can sail to Grenada from Chicago!

SAILING AND NOODLE-ING....WHAT A GREAT DAY!

So what do you do when you're anchored too close to shore AND you want to clean off some of those barnacles? Go Sailing, of course!

Merengue (Wendy and Jim) and Half Moon (Joe and Becky) joined us for a day sail on Sunday. What a great way to spend the captain's day off. And what a treat to sail with sailors.

We sailed out a few miles as close to the wind as we could. There was just enough wind (about 10 knots maybe) to fill the sails and bring smiles to our faces.

A few hours later we re-anchored further away from shore then quickly jumped into the bay to cool off and float with our 'noodles.' Who knew these foam pipe covers would become so popular. The question is: how can we create a cup holder for our drinks!

There are many, many, many more photos. However- I can't get them to load in a picasa album.

Thanks Jim and Wendy for sharing photos of the day. Check out Merengue's blog for another perspective and more pictures.
